Modelling Portfolio

(Model: Priya Yadav)

Modelling portfolio is the first requirement, if you want to enter this field as a model. A portfolio shows your pictures to the client, who will hire you as a model. Portfolio photographs are shot by professional photographer with proper lights, make-up and dress. It has to show your 'model look'.

Normal cost of portfolio can be anything between 40,000/- to 150,000/- depending on the photographer and location. There are few photographers, who charge less but they can rarely submit a quality work. What you need is a quality work, as the portfolio is your ambassador, and you cannot compromise on it.

Our charges for portfolio are (INR) Rs 80,000/- which includes studio, make-up and hair stylist. Model has to bring their own clothes.

Shoot will extend for two days, with studio and outdoor sessions. You will get 15 to 20 photographs.

Modelling portfolio charges for child below five years are (INR) Rs. 40,000/-

My Digital Photography Club offer

There are hundreds of good faces, who cannot afford this amount for modelling portfolio. So either they never come up as a model or they go for cheap portfolio, which never works. Secondly, even if they spend 10,000/- on a portfolio, they may not get proper exposure in this field.

Considering this fact, My Digital Photography Club has worked out a system, which provides a platform to talented models. I am an approved contributor in three of the five largest websites in the world, who needs photographs of people on regular basis for sale.

We have a barter system with new and upcoming models, who can pose for my assignments and in return, he or she gets his portfolio for free.

Condition for this service:

You must be committed for this profession

Commitment and professionalism is the first thing, needed in any profession. A half-hearted approach will never work, so if you are really committed, then only apply.

You must have that x factor as a 'model look'

Even if you have an average looks, you can do modelling, provided you give good expressions and friendly smile. You must look comfortable in front of the camera. This is the only condition, and in which if you cannot perform, you will be rejected as a model. So practice for these expressions.
